16.66% Gourmet Hunter [HxH Fanfic] / Chapter 2: Encounter on Meteor Street

Capítulo 2: Encounter on Meteor Street

Ryuuji Takeda spent a whole week before reluctantly accepting the strange encounter that had befallen him.

He obviously discovered a construction site at the bottom of the ice-free lake, resulting in a horrifying aura materializing out of thin air. Before his soul could tremble, he inexplicably found himself on the trash mountain. What was even more perplexing was not a language barrier but... he was shrinking, like Conan!

Fortunately, Ryuuji's shrinking was due to his body becoming smaller.

Also, due to his experience of swallowing fruits, his endurance had greatly improved, ensuring that when he arrived in this world, his spirit wouldn't be directly impacted by a powerful force.

A week isn't short, and it was enough time for him to come to terms with the situation.

"Language problems should be solved first. Fortunately, the people here seem kind."

Seated on a wooden bed, Ryuuji touched the scar on his right eyebrow, lost in thought.

He still didn't realize that he was no longer on Earth. He didn't know the name of this place or understand the absurd notion of kindness here.

Upon exiting the trash mountain, he encountered three people in protective clothing. Judging from their size, they could only be classified as children. This was confirmed by the fact that he, too, had become a child unconsciously at first.

Although he didn't know where they were or why these three people wore protective clothing and visited the garbage dump, their incomprehensible speech filled Ryuuji with despair.

"What kind of language are you speaking?"

He was proficient in multiple languages, yet at that moment, he couldn't understand the words of the people in protective clothing.

Fortunately, despite the language barrier, one of the girls still showed obvious kindness and led him back to their settlement. These actions earned the girl Ryuuji's appreciation. Of course, it would have been better if she hadn't taken the jade from him.

Ryuuji glanced at the familiar scars on his right eyebrow, pondering the jade stolen by the barbarian girl, lost in habitual thoughts.

Based on his appearance and scars, he confirmed that he had shrunk and his physical fitness had regressed with age. Fortunately, he could still sense the incalculable "life energy" in his body. This energy was his weapon, albeit currently as weak as a flickering flame.

During this time, he had worried about the disappearance of the "fire" in his body, as it would be essential for his survival in this strange world. Thankfully, his worries were unfounded. Though weakened, the life energy in his body showed no signs of dissipating.

"In short, while mastering the language, I should try to strengthen the life energy in my body to avoid being powerless when facing challenges."

Ryuuji slowly closed his eyes, calming his mind. He then focused his mental energy on the weak life energy in his body, gently manipulating it like a pair of gentle hands rubbing a tiny energy ball.

For a whole year, he had trained with a clear understanding of his situation, but his progress had been almost nonexistent. Although he didn't know the specifics, he continued his efforts.

Initially, he could clearly perceive the life energy after swallowing the fruit, and he used this method to cultivate. Though the results were modest, they were tangible.

After a year of practice, his physical fitness had not only improved to non-human levels but he could also hold his breath for up to 20 minutes.

However, since his body had shrunk and he arrived in this strange world, his usual cultivation methods didn't seem to yield results.

Ryuuji attributed this solely to his smaller body and didn't dwell on it.

After massaging the life energy mass for a full hour without any apparent change, he tightly closed his eyes. Suddenly, a row of white fonts appeared in his dark vision, forming organized text:

Power: unknown.

Awakening degree: 0.5%.

The unexpected text startled Ryuuji, causing him to open his eyes abruptly. As he did, the text disappeared, as if it had never been there.

"What on earth is this?"

As deep doubts clouded his eyes, the old wooden door creaked open.

A girl with purple hair and golden eyes entered, carrying two bowls of steaming porridge. She placed them on the simple wooden table and gestured towards them, saying, "Eat."

Though the girl's language was simple, Ryuuji couldn't understand it. However, he understood her intention and picked up a bowl, realizing that this was a familiar routine.

As Ryuuji finished the meager meal, he observed the girl. Petite and around ten years old, she had short purple hair, thin eyebrows, and rare golden eyes that exuded energy. Though her nose and mouth were delicate, she wore a white judo-style dress with a short skirt and black shorts underneath.

While she appeared adorable, Ryuuji sensed a strength in her that belied her petite frame.

Perceiving his confusion, the girl retrieved a shabby book from her clothes, patting it on the table. "I'll teach you to read," she said.

Though he didn't understand the girl's words, Ryuuji welcomed the gesture, opening the book and recognizing characters similar to those on the stone pillars at the bottom of the unfrozen lake.

"This seems familiar," he murmured, comparing the characters. Though they bore some resemblance, they were distinct.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Ryuuji raised his head to look at the girl, pointing at the book, then at her, and finally at himself, silently asking if she intended to teach him literacy.

The girl understood Ryuuji's gesture and nodded slightly.

"Let's get started, then," Ryuuji exclaimed eagerly, speaking in Chinese. The girl didn't comprehend the language, but it didn't deter her from teaching him the universal language.

Though the girl's teaching was rudimentary, Ryuuji displayed exceptional talent in language acquisition, mastering the new language at an astonishing pace. Despite the late hour, he learned the language of this world within weeks.

Late into the night, Ryuuji finally learned the girl's name and the name of their location.

The girl's name was Machi, and they resided on Meteor Street...

Though "Machi" and "Meteor Street" seemed innocuous on their own, when combined, they evoked a sense of dread within Ryuuji.

"Is this the world of the hunters?" he wondered, a vivid image of a woman with purple hair and golden eyes superimposing itself onto Machi.

Machi... a renowned person in a group known worldwide as the Phantom Brigade. Despite their harmless appearance, they were infamous for their murderous exploits. Ryuuji realized that the seemingly harmless Machi was not as innocent as she appeared!

Capítulo 3: Embers of Resolve: Ryuuji's Journey Begins Anew

The night air is as refreshing as a cool stream. In a room spanning less than 30 square meters, the furnishings are modest. A wooden bed, cabinet, table, chairs, a chandelier, and a bathroom constitute Machi's humble abode.

Reclining on the wooden bed, Ryuuji Takeda tosses and turns while Machi, nestled in the hammock, has already drifted into a peaceful slumber.

Upon entering the room, Ryuuji notices the presence of the hammock, its pristine condition contrasting with the layer of dust on the wooden bed, indicating that Machi seldom uses it.

"The Hunter's World..." Ryuuji muses aloud, twirling the cold jewel between his fingers, a mixture of fear and excitement coursing through him.

At just ten years old, Machi's appearance aligns perfectly with Ryuuji's recollection of purple hair and golden eyes. Coupled with the term "Meteor Street," Ryuuji deduces his current circumstances.

Though Machi's mental acumen surpasses her age, she lacks the qualifications to be a teacher. Nonetheless, aided by books, Ryuuji swiftly learns many nouns, including their names and the location "Meteor Street."

With the basic means of communication established, Ryuuji sketches grandiose promises of wealth to Machi, eventually persuading her to return the jewel.

Unperturbed by skepticism, Machi's decisions are largely instinctual. Trusting her gut, she believes bringing Ryuuji home will yield positive outcomes. Moreover, his ability to breathe in the garbage dump without protective gear piques her interest.

Reflecting on his current predicament, Ryuuji feels far from the excitement he once associated with entering the world of hunters. The mysterious aura he encountered at the bottom of the lake and his inexplicable arrival in this realm weigh heavily on his mind.

While on Earth, time always seemed insufficient, leaving little opportunity for indulgence in anime or manga. However, his interests were piqued by two particular anime: "Gourmet Hunter" and "Full-Time Hunter."

As a food enthusiast, Ryuuji resonated with "Gourmet Hunter," while his adventurous spirit drew him to "Full-Time Hunter." Recalling the plethora of exotic ingredients and unexplored territories depicted in the series, Ryuuji's anticipation overrides his trepidation.

Amidst his contemplations, Ryuuji's attention shifts to the latent potential within him. Acknowledging the inherent dangers of this world, he resolves to master his abilities swiftly, viewing them as tools for exploration rather than dominance.

As night descends, Ryuuji's thoughts turn inward, contemplating the mysteries of his newfound abilities. In a sudden timing, cryptic fonts materialize in his consciousness, displaying his latent powers.

- Level: Enhancer

- Strength: Specialist

- Strengthening system: Enhancer (Awakening degree 0%)

- Release system: Emitter (Awakening degree 0%)

- Change system: Transmuter (Awakening degree 0%)

- Control System: Manipulator (Awakening degree 0%)

- Current system: Conjurer (Awakening degree 0%)

- Trait: Specialist (Awakening degree 0.5%)

Interpreting the enigmatic messages as a sign of progress, Ryuuji resolves to hone his abilities diligently. Determined to ascend from ordinary to extraordinary, he embraces the challenges that lie ahead, fueled by an unwavering resolve to unlock his full potential.

With renewed determination, Ryuuji clasps the jewel tightly, its warmth signaling the dawn of a new chapter in his extraordinary journey.


Capítulo 4: Ryuuji Takeda's Nen Ability

Ryuuji Takeda felt a sensation akin to dipping his hands into a swirling vat of molten slurry, yet there was no pain; the feeling was peculiar and contradictory.

His tactile senses told him that this was the kind of heat capable of easily melting the flesh of his palm, yet it elicited no pain. Thus, when confronted with the heat, Ryuuji refrained from exclaiming.

His heartbeat quickened involuntarily...

With cautious hands, he reached out, the faint moonlight filtering through the window revealing no change on the surface of the jewel. Nonetheless, he could sense the peculiar life energy fluctuations emanating from it, coursing into his body through his palm.

If he had mastered the 'En' technique in his Nen abilities, he could sense Nen flowing and see the vast aura entwined upon the surface of the jewel.

However, being a novice, he naturally couldn't discern the aura swirling on its surface.

Though he couldn't visualize the aura, Ryuuji could perceive the fluctuations emanating from the jewel, the same source as the life energy within his body.

As more life energy coursed into his body from the jewel, the white smoke silently floating in his consciousness shifted once more.

The numbers indicating the awakening levels of the six main Nen categories showed slight changes. Apart from the traits, the awakenings of the other categories progressed from 0% to 0.1%, before halting. Meanwhile, the trait's awakening jumped from 0.5 to 0.6%, then surged to 3% before steadying.

Once the figures settled, the strange burning sensation from the jewel gradually subsided, and the rhythmic ebb and flow of breath ceased, as if a living thing had transformed into an inanimate object.

Faced with this abrupt change, confusion enveloped him, yet he recognized the myriad benefits gained. Not only had the trait system's awakening level reached 3%, but the life energy within his body had significantly strengthened, expanding from the size of a thumb to that of a table tennis ball, its tendrils beginning to seep outward from his body.

"This jewel..."

As he held the jewel, he could distinctly feel the life energy radiating from it.

If someone proficient in Nen witnessed this scene, they would likely be astounded. An ordinary individual, untrained and unversed in harnessing Nen, had managed to unlock his aura nodes in a short span of time.

This could be classified as... a natural Nen user!

In this moment, Ryuuji had become a singular individual with extraordinary Nen abilities in this world. The data displayed in the white smoke contained essence that could drive any Nen user to envy and greed, offering Ryuuji boundless potential.

It was akin to possessing a treasure of immeasurable value, yet he remained oblivious to its significance. Until the treasure was unearthed, no one would recognize the uniqueness and talents he possessed.

"Trait, I wonder what my Nen ability entails." The awakening level of the trait displayed in the white smoke font had risen to 3%. The dim light in Ryuuji's eyes flickered, ignoring the additional 0.1%.

He followed his instincts, allowing the wisps of Nen leaking from the fine aperture in his right palm to converge at the center of his hand.

Without formal training, relying solely on his memories of watching anime, a remnant thought in his mind and consciousness completed the "Hatsu," one of the fundamental techniques of Nen usage. Though limited to the span of his palm, it was indeed the "manipulation" technique.

To ascertain his powers, he would need to master the 'Ren' technique, a concept Ryuuji was familiar with, albeit not yet proficient.

In the room bathed in faint moonlight, a soft white glow began to emanate.

For about thirty seconds, Ryuuji left the Nen on his right palm to accumulate. Gradually, it condensed into a white light sphere resting upon his palm. Its soft luminance resembled that of a transparent small orb.

"Is this my ability, or simply pure Nen?"

Ryuuji's Nen perception hovered at a semi-destructive level, making it impossible to discern whether this was an inherent trait or a manifestation of Nen.

A fleeting thought stirred within him, causing the steady white sphere to tremble suddenly.

"Hmm?"

Caught off guard, Ryuuji felt the once calm sphere in his palm transform into a wild force.

"Whoosh!"

The white sphere, resembling a tightly coiled spring, shot forth from his palm, moving at a surprisingly sluggish pace, akin to that of a leisurely stroll.

The sphere made its way towards Machi, who lay upon the hammock with desperation.

"Oops!" Ryuuji's heartbeat quickened, his feeble control over Nen rendering him powerless to intervene.

The sphere landed upon Machi's body, instantly enveloping her in a thin veil of light. The illumination was faint, akin to a gossamer curtain.

In the next instant, Machi's attire, including her undergarments, inexplicably unraveled, gently cascading to the ground as the light veil dissipated.

"...," Ryuuji's lips twitched slightly as he beheld the scene.

"Is this my ability? Stripping Little Machi's clothes at the speed of light? It must be a fluke. Yes, it must be an illusory power!"

This painful conjecture welled up from within him. Despite his steadfast self-assurance, the harsh reality elicited a sigh akin to an autumn breeze.

Ryuuji's rudimentary understanding of Nen failed to account for the fact that his mastery of it was that of a novice. Moreover, Nen abilities were influenced by personal will and desires, categorized into latent and manifest needs.

Latent needs were desires that individuals were unaware of, whereas manifest needs were consciously recognized.

Evidently, the ability to disrobe had sprung from a latent desire, unbeknownst to Ryuuji. In essence, this ability to undress... seemed cruel, threatening to brand him as a "pervert."

Fortunately, Ryuuji remained oblivious to this aspect; otherwise, he would adamantly deny it.

In truth, this power manifested in the instantaneous removal of clothing from a person's body. While seemingly feeble, if applied to anything other than clothes... any part of the body, perhaps?

Furthermore, as a novice who had just begun to explore his abilities, Ryuuji did not employ 'Ren,' but rather utilized a half-formed 'manipulation' technique to harness his own Nen, which defied common sense. If mentioned, people would certainly doubt the capability.

At this time, Ryuuji did not think so deeply. While lamenting, he couldn't help but be attracted by Machi's naked body.

When normal people see the naked body of the opposite sex, no matter whether the motivation is pure or not, they will look at it reflexively.

 Under the faint moonlight, Ryuuji barely looked at Machi's body with his eye. Her skin is white and she flat. There was nothing to expect. Her thin body showed rows of bones.

   "Shit!"

  Ryuuji suddenly realized that Machi was only ten-year-old girl, so he forcibly turned his head and rolled over, as if nothing happened.

   After a while, maybe she felt cool because she had no clothes. Machi slowly opened her eyes. When she awoke, she immediately noticed that all her clothes, including underwear, were missing.

  "!"

  Machi's expression became cold, and with a quick movement of her hands, she pulled out a thin line. Moonlight projected on the thin line, flashing with a faint luster, giving off a hint of chill.

   She glanced at Ryuuji lying on the bed with his back facing her, her slender eyebrows were slightly furrowed, although her clothes were missing, her expression was more calm and suspicious.
